NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE NOT RECEIVED PRIOR YEARS FUNDING UNDER NSGP

Description:

Request for Applications (RFA) in federal NSGP-UA funding and federal NSGP-S funding is being made available by the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency. Nonprofit organizations may apply for up to $150,000 per site, for up to three (3) sites, for a maximum award of $450,000 per organization. There is a total of $90 million nationally for the NSGP-UA program and $90 million nationally, with NYS having a target allocation of $2.4 million, for the NSGP-S program. Funds will be awarded competitively based on the submission of applications by eligible nonprofit organizations. If your nonprofit site is physically located within a FY 2021 UASI-designated urban area, then you may apply to NSGP-UA; in NYS, organizations who are located in the NYC Urban Area which includes: the five boroughs in New York City, Nassau County, Suffolk County and Westchester County are eligible to apply under NSGP-UA. If your nonprofit site is not physically located within the NYC urban area, then you may apply to NSGP-S.

Funding will be awarded to support target hardening activities to nonprofit organizations (as described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and exempt from tax under section 501(a) of such Code) that are at high risk of terrorist attack. NSGP provides funding for physical security enhancements and other security-related activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist attack. The NSGP also seeks to integrate the preparedness activities of nonprofit organizations with broader state and local preparedness efforts.

Due to the competitive nature of this program, funding preference will be given to nonprofit organizations that have not received prior years funding under NSGP.

Applications must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on April 15, 2021, through New York State’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (NYS-DHSES) electronic grants management system (E-Grants).
